Before focusing in solely on basketball, Caitlin Clark played a number of sports growing up—including tennis. Clark said that growing up, Serena Williams was her favorite athlete ever, and an overall inspiration to her as a young athlete.
"I loved Serena Williams," Clark said, via Elle. "Like she was probably my favorite athlete of all time. I just, you know, thought she was the greatest thing ever and then also I was a young girl being able to look up to that. I thought that was incredible.”
